...foremost proponent of the rule of law and justice. That role has been sliding into obsolescence under the stewardship of William French Smith, the Californian crony of Reagan's who served as Meese's Justice Department accomplice in his tax-credit government secrecy seams.

The ghastly three-week war is ended, and the dammed-up anger of its own abused citizens sweeps the Soviet government and the Communist Party into history's celebrated dustbin...
